NPP Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong, has said there is no way the country will be thrown into civil war if the Electoral Commission continues to compile a new voters' register amid the coronavirus pandemic.
According to him no one is afraid of Maj. Rtd Osahene Kojo Boakye Djan with his continous constant threats of civil war and anarchy.
" . . No one is afraid of Boakye Djan . . . if he plays the law will take action . . . let us see the anarchy," Ken Agyapong fired.
" . . We will do the right thing for the country, we will go ahead with the voters' register . . . the NDC is speaking as if they are in power, but they have forgotten that they are not in power . . . we are waiting for them to destroy this country; we are not afraid of them," said Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyepong.
He was reacting to the controversies surrounding the compilation of a new voters' register and comments by Maj. Rtd Kojo Boakye Djan that there could be civil unrest should the Electoral Commission (EC) continue with the impending voter register compilation.
The Assin Central MP was speaking in an interview with Hello FM in Kumasi.
NPP & EC Leading Ghana Into Civil War
Major Osahene Boakye Gyan (rtd) is warning of impending doom should the Electoral Commission connive with the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to rig the upcoming December polls.
The former military officer accused the EC of gradually leading the country into a civil war with its bull-headedness, particularly regarding the decision to compile a new voters register.
If They Want Civil War, They Will Get It!
The fomer military capo strongly held that the country can go to the polls this year without resort to putting together a new register as was done in 2016.
Sounding a note of caution, he pointed out that most electoral disputes in Africa have resulted in civil wars and Ghana is not immune to it, and warned that "should the EC continue to toe the line of their paymasters, it will certainly spell doom for this country."

EC's response to NDC's press conference
Earlier this week, th EC denied allegations by the NDC that it was conniving with the National Identification Authority (NIA) to rig the upcoming 2020 general elections in favour of the governing party, NPP.
According to the Electoral Commission, their outfit is no position to conspire with any political party or institution as being speculated by the NDC to rig elections, as the electoral processes remain transparent at all levels.
In a press statement signed by the Acting Director of Public Affairs at the EC, Sylvia Annoh, this is just another attempt by the main opposition party, the NDC, to undermine the image and integrity of the institute by "peddling untruths and falsehoods."
The oppositon party had earlier posited that the use of the National Identification card and passport as evidence of identification during registration despite the limited number of Ghanaians who have these requirements, was unfortunate.

WE ARE WIDE AWAKE
BE SMART GUYS, BE SMART. THIS IS HOW IT ALL STARTED IN THE PREVIOUS UPRISING WE'VE HAD IN THE COUNTRY.. READ AND THINK PROPERLY. YATE ABRE AND ALL OTHERS LED TO THAT ***barred word*** UPRISING. KEN IS JUST FUELING THIS ISSUE SO IT GETS TO THE BOILING POINT KNOWING IT WILL BE QUASHED BY A FORCEFUL OPPOSITION. LET'S NOT TAKE THIS LIGHTLY FELLOW COMRADES. AKUFO ADDO IS DESTROYER WHEN OTHERS ARE BUILDING. COLLAPSED PEOPLE'S BUSINESSES, RENDERED LOTS OF PEOPLE UNEMPLOYED AND YOU WANT TO SPEND WHOOPING AMOUNTS TO COMPILE A NEW REGISTER IN THESE DAYS. HE WHO SUPPORTS THIS DIABOLIC DEED WILL SURELY SUFFER.
At times I ask certain questions regarding unguarded utterances of people expected to know better. People like dishonourable Kennedy Agyepong, Nana Obiri Boahen, Abronye DC and Chairman Wontumi who make inflammatory comments are the most timid people who will flee the country when there is anarchy. They should continue to throw tantrums into the atmosphere expecting them fans will urge them on especially Kennedy Agyepong who when he realizes that people are giving him fans, then becomes intoxicated and incensed.
NDC SLOGAN CIVIL WAR. YEATE ABRE. CIVIL WAR WITH WHOM. MAY BE AMONG YOURSELVES. NOBODY OUTSIDE NDC WILL FIGHT THEM. IF THEY FIGHT AMONG THEMSELVES WE SHALL STOP THEM. TO MAINTAIN PEACE IN GHANA. IT IS DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND THE REASONS FOR THE NDC CRY OF WOLF. THEIR ALLEGATION THAT EC AND NIA WANT TO FAVOR NPP OR ANY POLITICAL PARTY IS FRIVOLOUSSS. THEY COMPLAIN AS IF NIA AND EC HAVE SET DIFFERENT RULES FOR DIFFERENT POLITICAL PARTIES FOR THEIR REGISTRATIONS. CONTRARY, NEITHER NIA NOR EC DEMANDS ANY DECLARATION OF PARTY MEMBERSHIP BEFORE ANY REGISTRATION. THE RULES THEY SET UP TO MAKE THEIR WORK EFFICIENT IS APPLICABLE TO EVERYBODY IN EVERY PART OF THE NATION. THE ESSENCE OF NIA AND EC REGISTRATION IS TO IDENTIFY AND ASCERTAIN ALL TRUE GHANAIANS. AS MUCH AS THEY SHOULD INCLUDE EVERY WILLING GHANAIAN TO BE REGISTERED, IT IS ALSO THEIR DUTY TO EXCLUDE FOREIGNERS, OR AS IN THE CASE OF NIA TO IDENTIFY THEM AS NON-GHANAIANS. NONE OF THE TWO REGISTRATIONS IS FINISHED. NIA REGISTRATION IS ONGOING. EC IS YET TO BEGIN. IT IS UNREASONABLEEE FOR ANY ONE TO GENUINELY COMPLAIN OR BLAME SOMEBODY FOR EXCLUSION. LET THOSE NOISEEE MAKERS PROVE THAT, IF NOT BY THEMSELVES, THEY HAVE BEEN EXCLUDED BY THE FAULT OF SOMEBODY. NDC SHOULD STOP CRYING "WOLF, WOLF WOLF" WHEN THERE IS NO WOLF. THEY ARE RATHER PORTRAYED THAT THEY INTEND TO PERPETUATE SOME FRAUD BY DEMANDING TO CREATE LOOPHOLES IN THE REGISTRATION PROCESS. THE CONCERN OF ANY SERIOUS POLITICAL PARTY AT THIS TIME SHOULD BE THE STRATEGY TO EDUCATE THEIR FOLLOWERS TO TAKE THE EXERCISE SERIOUS. THEY SHOULD ENCOURAGE THEIR MEMBERS TO SATISFY THE REQUIRED CONDITIONS. NOTHING IS GOT ON SILVER PLATTER. NOBODY WOULD YIELD TO PRESSURE OF DEMONSTRATIONS, PRESS CONFERENCES AND THREATS OF VIOLENCE. THE RESORT TO ANY OF THEM CANNOT BE HELPFUL TO THE PERPETRATORS THEMSELVES. IT PAINTS THEM EVILL IN THE EYES OF MANY. IT CANNOT ACHIEVE ANY MEANINGFUL GOAL FOR THEM. JUST AS THE WORLD AND GHANA HAVE SURVIVED THE CORONA VIRUS, THE WORST IN THE CENTURY, SO SO WE SHALL SUCCEED TO DEFEAT ANY DIABOLICC INCIDENT OR OUTBREAK. LIGHT SHALL ALWAYS DEFEAT DARKNESS NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES.
Talk like honourable man, eish can whole talk like bussssh man, you are disgrace to people who voted you to parliament, NPP are in power so we should all jump when npp say jump. Talk things that bring peace and not infuriateissues. What at all do NPP stand to gain with the new voter registration, tell Ghanaians
We are patiently waiting for the so called men to begin any non_sen_se. They will regret the day they were born.
@BLACKMAN ADMIRE HIM FOR GOD USING HIM TO BRING DOWN FALSE PROPHETS AND NOT POLITICS....IN THIS ERA REASON LOGICALLY DO WE NEED A NEW VOTERS ID? THEY SHD USE THAT MONEY TO BUILD ISOLATION CENTERS SO WHEN EVER THERE IS A PANDEMIC WE WONT RELY ON IMF AND CO FOR SUPPORT....NANA HAS TASTED POWER AND HAS REALISED THAT POWER IS SWEET SO HE WANTS TO GO AGAIN, WITHOUT NEW VOTER ID WE ALL NO PROF DO LITTLE STANDS, SO THEY WANT DO A NEW VOTERS ID TO RETAIN HIM ABI? NPP IS MY PARTY BUT I DONT SUPPORT NEW VOTERS ID. EDMUND KYEI
What have those officials, Jean, Bossman & co, to date done wrong to support your stance that they are the puppets of the President? The need for the new Voters' register didn't stem from the time of Mrs. Jean Mensa. It is only that, NDC for reasons better known to themself is against the creation of the new register. Then, NDC was for the creation of a new register by the EC under the Chairmanship of Mrs. C.Osei. This inconsistency this time around by the NDC is absurd. I think, the stress should be on the necessity of a new more credible register rather than under whose watch it is produced. And my dear Ato, if it comes to the real practicing of democracy NPP as a political party has better credentials than the NDC. That Buga Buga type of politics is gone forever with the exit of JJ Rawlings in mainstream democratic party politics in Ghana. NDC always had his way during the era of Rawlings and to date has a big problem coming in terms with the new real democratic order. Thus, NDC has a big problem working with the EC _officials who are not elected by the NDC-Administration.
These npp guys are playing with fire. Maybe they think the Ghana police service and Ghana army personnel all belong to NPP. They would be shocked when policemen and army officers begin to fight among themselves on party lines because of this new voter registration non sense. They would deploy soldiers to go and beat people only for the soldiers to start beating the likes of wontumi and ken agyepong. The police and military have minds of their own. I heard most policemen and soldiers say what happened in ayawaso will not happen again.
